Ultra Quiet

Its low noise impeller and patented fan holder ensures the fan is virtually ultra quiet even under full load. Thanks to the PWM control, the fan speed adjusts according to the CPU temperature and thus the noise level remains at an absolute minimum which qualifies it as a silent cooler. Click here to see how the PWM control settings can be changed according to your performance and noise preference.

Vibration Absorption

Easy Installation

The patented vibration absorption fan holder is the key in keeping the Alpine 7 PRO to run inaudibly. This frame absorbs vibration caused by spinning and in turn offers whisper-quiet operation.

FAQ

The PC is reporting a low fan speed during booting.

Your PC may send you a CPU Fan Speed warning when starting the PC if the fan speed is lower than the default minimum value. If you do not wish to receive this warning in the future, you may enter the BIOS to reset the minimum value or disable the function completely.

As shown in the example below, you can adjust the settings under Power -> CPU Fan Speed warning. By setting the value to 800 RPM, you should avoid any warnings of this kind in the future.

The fan is becoming very noisy

There are a number of reasons which caused the fan to become noisy:

1) Improper fan speed settings

The fan speed can be adjusted in the BIOS for most of the motherboards. Press the Delete key immediately after system startup to enter the BIOS. Read the manual of your motherboard for instructions to change the fan speed settings.
You may be offered a number of options to adjust the fan speed, such as Silent, Performance or Maximum. On the other hand, you may set a target temperature for the CPU, e.g. 65°C.

2) A cable is snagged in the fan

Avoid placing the cables near the fan and if possible, tidy up the excess cables with a cable tie

3) The bearing is gone

If the bearing is gone there's no way to repair the fan but to replace it and it should be replaced by a new one.
